Herschel Views Saturn From Windsor Castle
Sir William Herschel arranged a telescope at Windsor Castle for Queen Charlotte and court ladies to view Saturn and its rings. Clouds broke the observing plan, but the queen and attendants still saw the planet clearly through the instrument. Herschel also built a cardboard model of the Saturnian system in the grounds with a lamp to illuminate it.
